Today was probably my last day phone banking. Tomorrow i’m tied up, can’t make it. But Tuesday i’ll be driving voters to the polls all day. I volunteered for Kerry in 04, Obama in 08 and 12 and now for Hillary. This was by far the most gut wrenching year. I felt all along that the cards were stacked against us all along for many reasons, specifically media bias against Hillary. Hialeah Florida is Cuban Republican land. “Behind enemy lines”. And I am a Cuban American Democrat. There used to not be many like me, but over the last two elections I’ve noticed there are more popping up, just like me. Cuban Democrats, there still are more Cuban Republicans but the younger ones are trending Democrat.
Empirically speaking there is something going on. Not just with Cubans but in the Florida Hispanic community. There are plenty of times I call and get angry trumpy supporters, but it feels like i was dealing with more Romney supporters in 12 that trump ones now. Trump is over polling, his support is way softer that commonly known.
My point is i believe there is a hidden Clinton vote that is not being seen. It may not account for more than a point or two over all but it will carry the day along with our ground game on election day. Either I will eat crow, or be proven right. We will know by Wednesday.
There for my prediction is between 320 to 350 electoral votes for Hillary. This is a short diary just giving my gut feeling after having been involved on the ground for many months. We will see what happens. Lets make it happen people. We will win. Go Hillary!
